Chapter 15: Friendship Sundered part 1
Everything seemed like a nice day since the party last night and so far no trouble at all. But what caught the keyblade wielders' attention was the festival called the Day of the Roses. Something to celebrate their mothers, like Mother's Day and also the best thing for the students to enjoy was no school so they have the free time to themselves. It was also a surprise to find out that Macbeth allowed them the chance to have a break after all they've been through and deserved it.
"Man, I'm glad to have some break, maybe a little from the Grimm slaying and chasing bad guys about." Taren said with his arms over the back of his head, yet despite being happy something about it was making him feel somewhat down.
Ben was unable to come since he decided to work on his skills more to better prepare for any stronger enemies like the one he mentioned about another associate of Tezzeret's and Mal was busy doing something to build up her magic.
Brandon and Sky invited him around and some of the girls who were still around to have a good time.
"You bet, and sure a lot of people." Sky said as they walked through the city and seeing all the decorations for the festival.
The only one who didn't seem to be having fun was Riven, they thought it be fun to bring him out of his mood but so far nothing worked. They doubt that Genie could work his magic since it wouldn't make a difference. "Too many for my taste. What are they all doing out here in the streets anyway?"
"What you should be doing. Relaxing and enjoying themselves." Brandon told him as the others agreed.
The red haired keyblader nodded. "It's a rare chance Macbeth would let us have some fun without training so take it for granted." The boys stopped to look up and spotted a ship pouring roses across the streets, everyone cheered to catch one.
Taren spotted something and couldn't help but give himself a teasing grin, nudge to Brandon to know what or who was coming.
"Hey, Sky, looks like your princess is here." Taren said as both could see him looking all happy and flushed.
Catches a rose in his hand and offers to Stella upon her arrival. "A rose for you, madam."
Stella smiled brightly and accepted it from the prince. "Thank you." Looking into each other's eyes made the others unable to help but find it amusing of how they seem so into each other.
"They're definitely falling for each other." Brandon smirked but happy to see his friend happy.
Genie appeared beside Taren. "Hey guys, sorry if I'm interrupting anything but came around with some news. But can't seem to remember after that head injury. Plus came back from the dry cleaners." Pulls out a suit carrier bag until it suddenly thrashed about as if something was inside it. Puzzled and pulled the zip which turned out to be Kiko hanging by the coat hanger.
Bloom was surprised to see her pet in there, probably gotten into some trouble again.
Genie was also confused as she was. "That's odd, if you're here? Where's my bike rider outfit?" But before he did that he reached into his red sash and pulled out a beautiful red flower. "Oh, almost forgot for a special lady from an admirer." Points his thumb to Taren.
"Wait me? I didn't-"
Genie wrapped his arm around the teen to whisper. "Come on, T, you might get a chance."
Gave it to Bloom who loved the rose, smiled at him with a blush on her cheeks. "Thank you Taren, its beautiful."
Seeing her smile and happy made Taren unable to deny she looked beautiful, even imagine it on her hair would go well, sort of like how Flora's suited her so- 'Wait! Why am I thinking of her too?! Don't don't even go there!' Able to push the thoughts aside for now and focused on Bloom. "Well… I guess it would've been a surprise then."
"Aw, isn't that romantic? Maybe we should get a photo of the cute couple for your folks back home." Stella thought with a cunning smile on her face, seeing the two close made them adorable in her mind.
"Stella! T-That's not really what it's like!" Bloom stuttered and tried to respond.
"Yeah, besides we should get going." Taren agreed and the thought of his mom knowing this was one of the few he did not want to reveal, least not when he's ready for it.
"For once, I agree its ridiculous watching you guys like this." Riven finally called out to them when irritated and disgust.
They finally see the motorbike race, races using uniforms similar to Specialists or those participating in the event. Passing through the crowd and cheered with them.
"Oh cool! This looks awesome!" Taren exclaimed.
"Tch, poor fools." They turned to Riven who seemed less interested. "Little do they know that they're totally wasting their time."
"Yeah, I'll be racing." Brandon told him.
"Hey, I was talking about me." Replied Riven.
Bloom came up to him to ask. "What's that suppose to mean?"
Riven pulled a smirk on his face and crossed his arms over his chest. "It means that, in a little bit I'll be the one crossing the finish line first! That's all, and you'll be all standing there watching me win."
"Yeah, me and Sky are going to be part of the race this year." Brandon said and turned to Taren. "Sorry, Taren but without a licence and training you just have to watch."
Taren shrugged and didn't seem bothered. "Eh, I think it be best to get some idea how its done. Maybe next time with my own on the next race." That is if his parents let him after the incident.
"Good, cause I hate to see you loose badly on your first, Taren." He said, earning a glare form the wielder and also from Bloom for insulting him. "And besides, I'm just telling you: the race is mine!"
"We'll see!" The prince told him, not wanting to put up with his growing ego.
Stella looked to him with worry. "Sky, isn't it a little dangerous?" Softly clutching to his sleeve.
Sky shook his head and smiled at her. "Nah, motorbikes are safe."
"Yeah, as long as there's training of how to use them, we're fine." Brandon explained and watched the race as one of the races pulls a stunt, causing the engines to fog up the driver behind him and loose control of his motorbike. Fell out just by the corner and as his bike propelled upwards a force field blocks blocked it from landing onto the crowd. The girls and Taren were startled at first when they thought how close it came but landed softly back down much to their relief.
Brandon smiled at them after the demonstration. "See? The track is shielded by a safety force field."
Taren sighed in relief. "A close one if you ask me."
Decided to walk around Magix until the next race starts, Stella was still concerned over Sky for when he'll take part in it.
"We have a dance to attend to tonight, so drive carefully." She said.
Sky smiled at her. "Well… I'll try." Earning a smile from the princess. "The thing is, if I wanna teach this guy a lesson, I'll have to put the pedal to the medal."
Riven scoffs at his remark and continued onwards to get started, wanting to put them in their place by his ego. Little do they realise that a certain group have been watching them to make a move.
"Me and Taren will cheer for you, Brandon." Bloom told the squire to give some confidence.
"Yeah, wish I could've joined to see who's the fasted. Me vs Brandon and Sky." Taren said, earning a chuckle from Brandon and Bloom finding it funny and how they are getting on so well.
"We'll see, and if you're up for a spar with your keyblade I'm up for it." He said.
"Hey Riven, whose cheering for you?" Sky asked him. "Stella's cheering for me, Bloom and Taren are cheering for Brandon, but you don't have anyone."
Taren wasn't sure if it were a good idea to taunt him further, not while they need to work together like Macbeth told them to.
Riven turned around and glared at the prince. "I can have any girl I want! Wanna bet?"
"What kind of bet?" Brandon asked him.
The group stopped as they hear his reply. "My kind of bet! If I win the race, I get to pick one of your fairy friends to be my escort for the ball this evening."
The girls looked at each other and not liking the sound of it, not even Taren as he narrowed his eyes at him and tries to sort it out. "Look this is stupid, you guys don't need to prove each other who's the best racer."
Riven glared at him and had some idea in mind. "Oh, is it? Well in this case I'll choose… Bloom! Is that a deal?"
"WHAT?!" Bloom was in disbelief as well as Stella and even if he were to win she would never go out with him. Taren was thinking the same thing and was going to give him a piece of his mind but the irritated Bloom beat him to it.
"Maybe you should ask me first!"
"Yeah, but-" Cut off when Bloom wasn't done with him.
"No 'but', who do you think you are? Just so you know, I choose who I go out with!" Giving her statement to him. " And I wouldn't go out with you if you were the last guy on Earth!"
Riven growls in anger at her but didn't scared Bloom as she glared back at him. "You're just a ridiculous. Arrogant. Pathetic windbag!"
Everyone was shocked by this sudden outburst from Bloom, but Taren couldn't help but admire her more for standing up especially to Riven. Genie shrunk himself tiny to whisper to him in his ear. "I like her already, she and your mom would really get along."
"Go ahead, win the race but I'm warning you don't come near me!" Crossed her arms and turned away from him, in her thoughts there was one guy she would rather go out with and was the opposite of Riven. But her thoughts were interrupted when Riven grabs a hold of Bloom's chin to turn towards his, getting a little too close for comfort.
"Oh? Do you really mean what you just said? I think deep down, you like me." Riven teased her. Not knowing that he was getting on Taren's nerve of the way he was treating her. And also this feeling he wasn't sure why but wanting to keep him away from her.
Brandon noticed the way Taren was getting more irritated by Riven and couldn't blame him, decided to try something before he does something stupid but Bloom quickly knocks his hand off of her.
"Hands off!" She told him and madder then before. "Don't get cheeky with me, Riven! You should show people a little more respect!" He was unaware that Bloom was using her magic to levitate a flowerpot over Riven's head and dumping water all over him. Soaked and wet, causing everyone to laugh, even Taren felt more better and joined in.
"Oops." Brandon said and couldn't help chuckling.
Bloom suddenly realised what she's done out of frustration with her magic and tried to apologies to him. "Uh… I didn't mean to, Riven I'm sorry!"
"Go away!" Riven rudely declined her apology.
Brandon decided to step in to stop things from getting worse. "Ok, that's enough! Just calm down, Riven."
"She didn't mean it but you were being a jerk." Taren said and stood beside her.
"And same to you as well. Get lost all of you!" With that, Riven ran off leaving the others in shock while Stella merely crossed her arms.
"Hey, he had it coming!"
While Riven walked on bickering to himself after the humiliation, he was unaware of being seen by a certain person peeking out, none other then Tezzeret himself who saw the seen.
"Well now, this just very interesting. I can now see why you suggested the idea." Turned to the Trix who showed up in Magix with him, they had to make the WInx pay and try to divide the groups further, starting with the Fairies and wizards before they could use the alliance against them.
Darcy nodded and glad he liked the idea. "This guy's personality and muscles. I like him."
Stormy noticed the way she was looking at him, almost as if she was more interested in him. "Darcy, are you falling in love?"
"Watch your mouth!" Darcy lashed out at her instantly to deny it.
"Both you, enough! There be a time for your bickering for another time but our plans must come first." Tezzeret told them.
Icy nodded to agree. "He's right, we got a job to do, remember? And this little 'falling out' has given some ideas. So far from what we know that this Riven always wants to be the best. He's brash, moody and really hates losing, but have the power to fulfil his dreams."
Darcy gave a smirk when hearing her plans. "Shouldn't be too difficult to get him to come over to our side."
"True, but should he fail or any attempts to betray us. He's finished." Clutching his metal hand in a snap shut as a means of ending him if signs of betrayal, or no longer use for him. "Now then I just have the means to do that, but need to blend in so no one would recognise me."
"Hmm, I was thinking of using Knut but perhaps you would do a better job at it." Icy said.
Tezzeret's body glowed and transformed himself into the appearance of Timmy. Pleased with his work and checked for anything out of the ordinary. "There, but something's missing."
Icy noticed he was without glasses as one of the Specialists wore them all the time, giving him a hand to create a pair on his face. "There we go, now you look just like him.
"Much better." Tezzeret now sounding like the boy to make it convincing. "Now then, here's what I had in mind then…"
Elsewhere in the city they went to see performers show off their talents, it amazed both Bloom and Taren that despite being in a world of magic there are some who use them for performances like the shows on Earth and other worlds without them.
"Gotta admit they really good at these tricks." Taren said and watched them perform.
"I'll say." Bloom smiled and stood beside him to watch while Stella wanting to be close to Sky.
"Oh, maybe next time we could do our own magic tricks." Genie suggested with excitement upon seeing many performers, dressing up in a magician getup, pulling out a box and a saw. "First I'll need a volunteer." Flicked his saw to make it wobble.
Both were a little uneasy about the idea of being sawn in half, especially Taren who'd rather be in one piece. "Uh, that's ok maybe try practicing it for another time."
"Y-Yeah, lets just have some fun first." Bloom agreed, and not wanting to look bad.
"Oh, your right! I should get do some work outs first since that incident in the episode… oh never mind. Besides, don't want to ruin a special moment with each other." Gave a wink to them and vanished.
"Look over there, a fire eater." Brandon spotted a man with a grey beard eating actual flames from the bowl.
The keyblade wielder watched but something strange happened before his vision.
In place of the fire eater was a large man almost like him with a brownish grey beard but with a scar across his head, light armor and wore gloves with two hammers in his hands. Twirling the hammers and light energy swirled around him before conjuring the flames to dance around him, brought one down to the ground and a pillar of fire erupted from the earth.
"Hey, Taren, you ok, bud?"
"Huh? Wha?" Taren didn't know what happened and blinked his eyes to see Brandon beside him and Bloom holding his arm in worry. "Sorry, I-I didn't know what happened just now.
"Looks as if you were in a trance, maybe from the performance of the guy did." Brandon said.
Bloom wasn't sure about it but seeing him a little off just now for a moment. "You sure you're ok?"
"I'm fine Bloom. Maybe just to get some drink."
"Good idea, you two go off and I'll get ready, don't be too long." Brandon left the two alone since Stella was nowhere to be seen, Sky probably went off to get himself suited up for the race as well.
Bloom realised she was with Taren and couldn't help but flush to be close to him, almost trying to keep herself together over her growing crush on him. Unknown to the others something happened to him that moment, almost like she felt something but couldn't figure out what.
"So uh, how come you didn't go visit your parents like the others?" She heard Taren asked her, looking at her with his eyes that made her flush just by looking at him.
Hearing his question out of curiosity which maybe it. "Oh, I just thought… well I dunno, if I just went home to see them for a minute… I, well I would've felt homesick. I know its stupid, but do miss them." Feeling down casted and thought he would laugh a bit.
"Yeah, I know the feeling." Taren sighed, catching her attention about it as he now looked down. "Just haven't seen or heard from my folks in nearly a year now. Wish I could've gone home to see them, but like you I would've wanted to stay home with them."
Bloom remembered that he was taken away against his will after the attack on his home, almost feels like they had one thing in common but only one of them been given a choice. Maybe she could find something to cheer him up. "I'm certain you'll see them again, do you have anyone else back home?" Part of her was hoping he didn't have a special someone at home since she was starting to like him more and hoping something special between them grows. However she still remembered that talk Stella mentioned, maybe it was just to get her to open up a little.
"Well, my parents and little sister home, but some friends. They probably thinking what sort of adventures I'm in, no doubt Max would be jealous if he knew." Chuckled softly at the thought of one of his pals wanting to go one adventures. "Would be great to see the islands again."
Seeing him smile a little made her happy and interested to know about his backgrounds. "So you actually live on an island?"
"Well, groups of them but close to a larger country. Besides my parents grew up together since childhood, but my mom original came from Radiant Garden. It has the best waves and chance to surf."
Hearing this made her more interested. "Wow, would love to visit there sometime." And the idea of surfing sounded fun, a thought of her in the beach for some fun and maybe alone with Taren for- 'Wait! Don't go too far ahead! What if he think's I'm weird? What if his parents don't like me?' Now wondering how they would think of her and hoping his mother not be so protective of him, but doubted since he managed to look after himself well.
"Hey, you ok?" Taren asked her, snapping Bloom from her mental struggle against her fantasies.
"I'm fine! Just thinking how my parents doing and thinking it's great you're still thinking of them. I bet they be thrilled to see you again." She said, waving her hand sheepishly to cover up her flush. "I'm guessing Ben and Mal are also feeling the same as well."
"Yeah, Ben really missing his parents back home, he's been sending notes to them and waited to send updates before we reached Gardenia to let them know what we've been doing during training." Taren told her.
"And Mal?"
"Actually, she never knew her parents, saying they died when she was very young and been raised by three fairies as her aunts. It was a sensitive subject but best not mention it to her." Taren told her who understood and respected her privacy, but must be sad to not knowing who her parents are.
"Well, least that took me a little better after what I did to Riven, I still feel awful." Bloom was a little guilty about and didn't want to abuse her powers.
"Hey, he had it coming and you did great standing up to him. He didn't had the right to make you do go out with him." Taren told her and although he had to agree with her, but Riven was still a jerk.
Even though he was right she should try to apologise for her behaviour, but suddenly caught the sound of music close by from there a large growing crowd and decided to check it out.
"Hey, let's go see what's going on." She held him by the arm close to her chest without knowing it, dragging him with her through to get closer. The two see a beautiful masked dancer in the centre performing for the audience she's gathered with instruments floating around her making music.
Bloom couldn't help but awed by the performance, almost like an entranced state as she sways her body.
"Wow, she's really good." Taren had to admit and watches but noticed how Bloom was watching her without a word. "Bloom? You ok?" He asked but something caught his eye when a faint blur of a woman appeared and faded away. "Wha-? Who was…" It was weird but could've sworn it sounded like she was calling out to… Bloom?
"Bloom!" This time he held her by the shoulder to snap her out of it, it worked when she was blinked and looked up at him in confusion. "You alright? Looks you were also miles away too."
Bloom couldn't understand what just happened but turned to find the woman calling for her vanished. "Wow, that was… odd. Sorry Taren, I guess her dance was good I was lost there." Smiled a bit, allowing him to lead her out by holding her shoulder as she felt comfort and safety from him. But stopped to find Timmy outside the crowd. "Look, it's Timmy!"
"Wha? Timmy?" Taren thought she was seeing things but then he saw his teammate there. He wasn't sure what's going on but feels something off about him. "What… hey, Tim what brings you out here?"
"Hey, guys! I was just looking for you two, everyone was wondering where you were when you disappeared so sudden." Timmy told them.
"Not sure, I just lost sight of them but accidently dragged Taren away too when I got so excited." Bloom explained and was embarrassed by it.
"Guess we got a little side tracked for a moment." Taren said, every part of his body was screaming 'danger' coming from Timmy… or someone else posing as him. "You got an idea where they are now?"
'Timmy' nodded. "Sure, they're in the Square, you can see them before the start of the race if you get there in time."
Both agreed and wanting to get there to see them start, Taren stood close to Bloom and acting like nothing was wrong, but couldn't help but feel the need to protect her. However, it could be he was just a little jumpy with lots of things since they came to Magix.
"The guys told me you had a little… disagreement with Riven, was it? I just overhead." The glasses wearing teen asked.
Bloom sighed and figured it would be mentioned. "Yeah, had an argument and made a big mess. I just wanted to make up for it."
"Well, if you want to, I know how you can!" 'Timmy' told her with a smile on his face.
Taren was curious about it. "How, he's not someone who can apologise so easily, Tim. Take Mal for example not so easy to say sorry all the time."
"Oh, don't worry this should do the trick." 'Timmy' assured him and pulls out a small black case from his bag. "It's a surprise, I've prepared it for him as a prototype but you can give it to him as a gesture of peace offering."
Bloom took a closer look at the case when Timmy opened it up and showed them what look like a set of headphones. "This is an Omni-Drive helmet. It might not look much, but when you put it on and push the button on tope." Giving a demonstration to them as he wears it on and when pushing the button on the centre, it slides down and unfolds into a helmet similar to the ones wind riders wear. Presses the button again and folds back into it's headphone state.
"It allows the rider to drive a vehicle like a wind rider telepathically, making it much safer." He explained and caught Bloom's attention as a chance to repair the damage she's done.
"I could use something like that, maybe make another sometime." Taren suggested.
"Oh its still working progress, maybe another time." 'Timmy' said and offers the headgear to Bloom. "So, you think this will work?"
"But, you must have worked hard on this. You're the one who should give it to him." She told him and thought it was right that he be given credit.
"I could but friendship is much more important, don't you think?" Timmy asked her. "You give it to him, tell him you got it in a little tech shop or special offer. You'll make him happy, trust me."
Taren wasn't sure about it but then again Bloom did wanted to make it right and didn't want to ruin it for her. "Well, guess when you put it that way." He thought.
Bloom's face lid up and smiled at him. "Thanks Timmy! That's very generous of you."
He nodded at her. "No need to thank me, but one last thing; just don't tell anyone I gave it to you. Want to leave it a surprise."
Both teens looked at it in wonder why he wanted to keep it a secret, Taren wasn't sure and wanted to ask him something. "Wait, Timmy Macbeth wanted to know-" but Timmy was gone before he had the chance to say anything and figure out what.
"Hey, let's go see them before the race starts." Bloom told him, putting it aside for now and joined her.
With them gone, 'Timmy' walked through the alley and towards the park, proved to be a success as he called the Trix. "It's done, they bought it."
"We saw and you did really well, almost had us fooled." Icy replied.
"It did, but I somehow feel the boy may have been suspicious. I will have to be more cautious next time."
"I just can't wait to see it happen! If only we can see the looks on their faces!" Stormy said with excitement and glee to see the damage they do.
"Timmy? What are you doing here?" The disguised Tezzeret froze where he stood, a voice of a man he knew full well and find Macbeth approaching him with a confused expression. Immediately switched his phone off and decided to play along as he can.
"Sir, surprise to find you here. Thought you be in Red Fountain." He chuckled nervously, hiding his communicator in his pocket.
"I thought I come by to see the race I heard so much about, Saladin thought it be good to take the time off." Macbeth explained to him but somewhat unconvinced. "Thought you were busy working on some upgrades on your scythe?"
"Oh, I just decided to take a break like the others said, maybe give some support to the others. I better go, see ya." Turned around to wave him goodbye. Only taken a few steps until he felt something against his back and a clicking sound of a weapon. He turned around and finds Macbeth right behind him and not very pleased.
"Something wrong?" Acting innocently but has a feeling he wasn't falling for it now.
"As a matter a fact you did." Macbeth replied with his eyebrows low and narrowing his eyes at the imposter. "Timmy doesn't use a scythe, he's not physically equipped but use of guns or crossbows."
"Guess I really should've done more research. But you always were good at knowing your friends, and enemies." Decided to cast off his disguise and return to his true form, revealing his identity before him and gave a casual smile over his shoulder. "Hello, old friend."
Macbeth gasped but knew it was him, just didn't imagine it be so sudden and now able to get a good look at him. "Tezzeret! I should've known."
The cyborg warlock chuckled and was unfazed by the gun pressed to his back until he took a step forward and turned around. "And I see you have not changed, how long as it been? It has been a very long time since we last saw each other."
"Far too long indeed, but still remember the atrocities you have committed!" Macbeth was doing all he can to supress his rage as the man they've been after was right in front of him.
"Now is that a way to treat an old friend? After all, we don't want to cause a scene." Showing him a few people in the park and knows for certain he can command the Grimm to attack if Macbeth tried anything funny. In his reluctance, decided to go along with it to prevent casualties and puts his gun away which made Tezzeret smiled of his compliance. "There, unlike the Trix I prefer having a civilized conversation."
"I see you have not changed, though I can't say the same about your appearance." Macbeth took noticed of his appearance for the first time since they last met, and under the coat he couldn't believe it with his own eyes. "Just what have you done to yourself?"
Tezzeret frowns and raised his right hand. "What I had to in order to survive, something I'm sure you understand. Were it not for the treacherous Witches, I was within reach of my goal of acquiring the flame. But doesn't mean the king, nor young master Sora for their part in this." Tapping his metallic finger on the optic lens in place of his original eye.
"I hear that you've became a mentor to a new band of wielders. I must say they've really performed well and I feel they may have potential. Given the right direction."
Macbeth would not let that happen and glared at him. "I won't let you go near them! They will never follow you after what you've done."
"You may be right, but would've been worth a shot. But will they still follow you if they knew of your little secret?" He gave a mocking smile at the irritated Macbeth. "Oh? So they don't know about your past? Well that will be a surprise, but what caught my attention was that girl, Bloom is it? Something about her seems very familiar. But my main focus is the Dragon's Flame."
"Whatever it is you're planning, it will not happen. Your allies had failed the last time and you will join them for certain." Macbeth swore and made certain of to stop him.
Tezzeret gave a soft chuckle and grins at him. "Oh, you really have no idea what I have in stall. War will come eventually. Not yet, but very soon. While it has been fun to catch up on fond memories, but I have other things to attend." A swirling dark vortex opened up behind him and leapt backwards without taking his eyes off Macbeth. "Remember, the Blades of the Fallen shall rise again." With the last words he spoke echoed as he vanished into the dark voice, leaving Macbeth alone and when the vortex was gone, he slammed his fist into the ground.
"Damn it! I should've stopped him but couldn't!" Had he acted sooner, he would've captured him and squeeze the information out of him of his plans but always one, maybe two steps ahead of him which makes him a very dangerous foe.
But there was one question yet unanswered. 'Why was he in disguise as Timmy? What was he doing just then?' It suddenly occurred to him that he came out of the city streets and just where the race was. He had a very bad feeling something was about to happen, maybe he can try to stop it in time.
Making a run for it as fast as possible, the only keyblader present in town was Taren and could perhaps warn the others.
Tezzeret appeared before the Trix on the rooftop of a building, high above to overlook the centre of the city. The witches sensed his arrival and approached them. "What happened? We lost contact with you just then." Stormy asked him.
"Let's just say I bumped into an old face, but more importantly they have taken the helmet I made for Riven." He chuckled with his arms held behind him.
"I can just imagine it, Riven will bound to steal the show over an accident. And all thanks to not just Bloom but also Taren as well, this just became a bonus with her boyfriend with her." Icy chuckled.
"Yeah, when Riven has his little crash it'll be their fault." Stormy grins and joins in, but Darcy seemed somewhat sceptic about the idea.
"A little accident? Really?" Darcy questioned her.
Stormy looked at her sister with a confused look. "Since when do you worry about other people?"
"Me? Worry?"
Stormy didn't buy it one bit and knew something was up. "Oh, but you do, you like that guy, don't you?" Grins at her.
Darcy narrowed her eyes at her. "He's nice that's all!" Responded in her defence.
Icy didn't want them to argue over a stupid boy and even Tezzeret was not interested in their case and tries to end it. "Darcy, darling, you're tuning all schmaltzy on us. And need to get your head in place for what we have in mind."
"Take your sister's words for granted, Darcy. We must not let such distractions get in the way for the prize ahead." Tezzeret advised her as he observed the starting race. In his believe there was no place for the weak, and if she wasn't careful it would be her downfall.
So we finally have Macbeth and Tezzeret meet each other and more secrets and questions revealed, hope you enjoyed it and wanted to make some bonding here between two characters to know each other. It was intended to be a full chapter for the episode but decided to make it a two part and have plans in mind for how they will 'recruit' Riven. I would also like to thank all those who support the story by faving and following the story! Took a little long to get it done at this time of month been busy but will get the next one done by next week hopefully.
Reviews, questions and criticism are most welcome!
